That "guide" is not really useful nor clever. In a scenario like yours,
you would setup Sendmail as a nullclient. That's documented in
cf/README. Or even drop Sendmail and choose a software like msmtp or
ssmtp which is dedicated for such purpose. You don't need the MTA
functionality of Sendmail.

Not really.

Your logs will tell you what is happening and where to look at closer.
If you like to get specific help from this list I feel you should
provide your sendmail.mc and log content demonstrating your issue(s).
